Faction Artie Masochism

All of the drama about faction arties puzzles me. I'm not sure why I'm bothering to repeat myself, but this is Siege. You remember, ONE blessable item?

If someone CHOOSES to sell/trade back your items, great! However, nobody is under any obligation to do so and not doing so does not make them dishonest or any less of a player.

Keep in mind that I have never trashed an item yet still strongly feel it is ok to do so. I've had many items trashed and purchased off of vendors to be kept from me. So be it! It's part of game and more importantly part of Siege's special rule set.

BTW, I stopped buying my faction gear back months ago and am not offended if you trash it. What amazes is that I seem to be the only person here with this mindset. History tells me that the minority is often more in the wrong, so I'm starting to think I should seek a professional evaluation for some form of Game Masochism.

What puzzles me is this long rant from someone who barely plays, then says he stopped buying his items back, months ago. As I always say, I have backup suits always ready and anticipate the worse. I like how you come from under your rock and make random, general statements that include everyone but you. lol...

You ever think people may of bought stuff that was "LOW's" not "YOURS", because D pissed them off? Conceited much? That would be my best guess, because I'm much more of an ******* any day of the week on this forum or in this game then you are/were and my **** seemed to find its way back without crying or caring about it.

It is Siege, but it's also a closer, tighter community then one of a production shard. Trash it by all means, but earn that right is what I say. Wouldn't you agree with that? Earn the right to trash it at least? That is all cupcake!

It's not just you. It's that between Draxous, Forsaken, and Kage alone they have like 8000 posts and they can't possibly live without that gear. That is total, not per day although sometimes it seems like it.

I'm basically the only one willing to swim upstream anymore. Everyone else just stopped posting or reading the boards.

Agree you should at least earn the right to trash items if you make the kill its your loot to do with as you see fit.

I wish they would put in a faction item turn in, let everyone turn in there loot for half the cost of silver

I agree with you completey..I do not partake in factions for many reasons. I am not that great of a pvper to be wearing million dollar suits and dying on a daily basis. My pockets are not that deep. Its my choice and I completly understand that I will be outgeared and for the time being, out skilled in the field . However I never once got my runic armor or jewels back even when I asked to buy it back at top dollar. I get laughed at and called a whole sleu of names{cry more noob} rez killed ..etc etc, which is there choice.

Everytime I die by the hands of factioneers or griefers I am drylooted to the bone and treated like ****, which is fine , I can deal with that, this is siege perilous. So my policy for faction peeps and griefers. If I ever get my hands on your suits/jewels, you will never see them again, which is my choice. Dont wear items in the field that you might lose permenatly. Ask me for a buy back and you will get the responses I have heard time and time again. Have fun farming that silver.
